Chapter 20: 20

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Maddox POV.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was running.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I have been running for a few hours already I just wanted to get away from Jayda so I could think
clearly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was praying to the moon goddess that I found a rogue so I could take my anger on him. But since my
pack's border patrol is strong its almost impossible for a rogue to enter. Almost, Ellie and the guy who
wanted to mark Jayda entered our territory so I still had hopes one entered and I could turn rip him to
shreds.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I started thinking about how dinner had gone, I think I handled everything pretty well, I mean I didn't kill
the guy so I find that a success.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I had never been in a situation like that because I never really cared about anyone romantically before
Jayda. I mean, I had some girlfriends when I was like 12-15 years old but then I realized my mate didn't
deserve me having a past with a lot of girls so I stopped dating.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Now that I think about it I might have been a little hard on her, I mean I do still talk to my ex's well they
talk to me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What the hell am I saying! I wasn't too hard on her, Carson obviously wanted to get back with her and
she met him behind my back. This is so stressing, I have never been so confused in my life, I have
always been confident with my decisions to do things but right now I don't even know.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Its not that I regret how I treated Carson or what I did at dinner because I really don't but I do regret
yelling at Jayda like that, she is my mate and we are suppose to know how to communicate with each&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;other and that is what she wanted to do, she wanted to talk about it but I had to go and hurt her
feelings.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;All the anger I had felt in the last few hours leaves my body and is replaced by guilt.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Inwardly sighing I ship back and grab some basketball shorts that the pack hides all across the forest
just in case we shift. Groaning I put my head in my hands and think about how I will fix this.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I decide to head back in human form so I have more time to think about everything. Suddenly an idea
comes to mind and I rush towards the pack village.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I knock loudly on the door and it opens to reveal a pissed off Kyle.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What the hell Maddox? What do you want? Its fucking 3am" Kyle growls out making me roll my eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I need to talk to your mate" I state and his posture tenses.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are fucking crazy if you think I will let you anywhere near her after what you did" he hisses, his
eyes turning black.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"First of all, you have no choice little brother, second of all I do apologize for torturing her but then
again its kind of her fault, I was going to let her go but she started talking shit about Jayda and you
know How I am" I say with a shrug.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are not going going to see Ellie!" Kyle yells.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why the fuck are you screaming Kyle? I was sleeping, oh hey Maddox" Ellie says while peaking over
Kyle's shoulder.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Get back inside Ellie" Kyle says through clenched teeth.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What? Are you guys having some kind of private conversation? If so then you are failing because you
are freaking yelling" Ellie says matter-of-factly
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Actually, I need to talk to you Ellie" I tell her looking at Kyle straight in the eye.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh sure but does it have to be now? Its kind of really late" she says with a yawn.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I nod "It is really important Ellie" I say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh, well okay sure" She says with a smile
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You. Are. Not. Talking. To. Him. Ellie" Kyle growls out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Kyle, we have talked about this. He is my best friend's mate and my Alpha. Plus I talked about Jayda
so his wolf took over" she says while kissing his cheek.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I don't care he had no right to-" Kyle starts making Ellie groan.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Kyle, please. I will talk to him wether you like it or not" Ellie says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He sighs "okay but I will be present during this conversation" he grumbles and walks inside holding
Ellie's hand.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I follow them inside and sit down in the arm of the sofa.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Okay, so I fucked up" I start.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No shit, poor Carson was super pissed" Ellie says making me shake my head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Not that, I really don't regret it. What I do regret is yelling at Jayda after dinner" I explain and she nods
in understanding.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"So, what do you need me for?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"First of all, what is Jayda's favorite food?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Candy" Ellie says without skipping a beat.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Candy? That is not food, that is candy" I say flatly and she shrugs.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"That is what she likes" she says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Okay, next question. Is she an active person or a lazy one?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She is both, she is lazy but she loves doing active stuff"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are no help, but thanks anyways don't tell Jayda I was here" I say standing up.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I wont, bye and good luck" Ellie says with a smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Bye" I say with a small smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I walk home and open the door, when I enter Jayda and I's room I frown, she is curled in the bed with
her nose on my pillow while holding it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It makes me feel 10 times worse.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I take a quick shower to take out all of the dirk from the Forrest and lay beside her, kissing her forehead
and wrapping my arms around her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The last thought I had before sleep took over me was that I finally know how to make it up to her...&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
